The Erie Board of Trustees early Wednesday morning tapped another planning commissioner – Fred Mahe – to fill its remaining empty seat, making it the first time the board has been at full strength since late September.

Mahe joins former fellow Planning Commissioner Dan Woog, who was appointed on Oct. 22 to fill one of two seats left vacant when trustees Paul Ogg and Jonathan Hager resigned in quick succession. Woog attended his first meeting as trustee on Tuesday night.

The board voted in favor of Mahe 5-1 shortly before 1 a.m., with Trustee Mark Gruber casting the sole no vote. Gruber said he would have preferred Michael Beylkin in the position.

Mahe, who also serves on the town's Tree Board, contended with nine other candidates for the post. They were interviewed by the Board of Trustees last week.

Mahe will serve until next April's municipal election, and then would need to run for re-election to keep the seat.
